/windows/system32/config/system problems. Cannot boot up xp pro
Having serious problems with /windows/system32/config/s
I started by wanting to reformat my HD but have got into a real mess.
My PC has been running poorly for a while. I suspect a virus or system problem. So backup up my files and went for a format and re install.
I dont have an original XP disk only a recovery CD from the PC OEM. is this a problem ?
I have dowloaded the six bootup floppy disks using my laptop. Tried to recover but get lost at the c:/> prompt in recover console.
I just want to wipe my HD (two x 160GB drives c: and d:) and reinstall windows XP Pro.

Thanks all who have replied. I have been without my PC whilst it has been away being repaired by the OEM. It turned out to be motherboard failure. The OEM Engineer called and to my surprise took the PC away with him, so I didnt have time to let you guys know. All covered under warranty luckily.
